No less than two family members were arrested by cops after they discovered a woman with rotting legs being eaten alive by insects in America, Daily Star UK reports.
A bedridden woman with rotting legs was found inside their home, police reports revealed.
Paramedics raced to the Georgia home in the US after they were alerted to the elderly woman’s critical condition.
They found her sitting on a Mega Mover – a sheet used to carry overweight people – in “deplorable” conditions.
Police reports described the white sheet had turned brown and was covered in faeces.
There was rubbish surrounding her bed “lining the floor” of the Buford flat, cops said.
Police later said her legs had turned black – a sign they were decomposing – and were allegedly covered with insects that were eating her flesh.
The woman’s husband Terry Sorrell, 54, and son Christian Sorrell, 18, were led away in handcuffs on suspicion of neglecting a disabled or elderly person.
A police officer wrote in his report: “When I first walked through the front door I was overwhelmed with the smell of human faces and garbage.”
It was later confirmed the family members were the woman’s caretakers.
Both Terry and Christian remain in police custody.
